Viking Mediologies: A New History of Skaldic Poetics Heslop Kate
Viking Mediologies is a study of premodern multimedia rooted in the embodied poetic practice of Viking Age skalds. Kate Heslop reconsiders these not as texts but as pieces in a premodern media landscape, focusing on poetry's medial capacity to embody memory, visuality, and sound.Mobile, hybrid, diasporic social formations--bands of raiders and traders, petty kingdoms, colonial expeditions--achieved new prominence in the Viking Age. Prior study of the skaldic tradition has focused on authorship--distinctions of poetic style, historical contexts, and attention to the oeuvres of the skalds whose names are preserved in the written tradition.
With their complicated poetry, they claimed to be able to capture shared contingent meanings and re-mediate them in named, memorable, reproducible works. The Skalds offered the leaders of these groups something uniquely valuable.
